The family run Fattoria La Vialla in Tuscany is a shining example of truly sustainable farm-ing. Every element of the production chain, from preparing the soil through to packaging the produce, has been planned with the environment in mind.

The production of high-quality oak cork, one of the main economic activities at this farm in southern Andalusia, is supported by a number of projects which aim to conserve the local habitat and highlight the importance of its natural attributes for present and future generations. The Foundation is committed to a variety of projects focusing on the protection of the ecosystem and natural resources and the conservation of native plants and animals.

The Raimat winery, one of the largest in the world, has recently moved from traditional to sustainable production. With the help of modern technologies such as GPS and GIS, the winery can monitor pests and identify crops to be fertilized much more accurately, at the same time making a contribution to biodiversity. Raimat is committed to bringing back a “natural” balance in the vineyards, without compromising the quality of the product or the profitability of the company.
